Takin' red out means always makin' it looking a bit cool. So it might be correct but mine does look a bit unfriendly.

Yes, Bertram, I think this is better, although Matej's version a couple of comments before yours is nearer to how I remember the colours in the actual scene. Thanks for taking the time...

Roger,
I like this photo and I was fiddeling around a bit with the colours too. The only disturbing thing for me were the slightly violet rocks, too much red and too much blue in it. What do you think ? At least the rocks look better now IMO.

Chris, I think I've found what the trouble with the flowers "breaking up" is. I didn't get the picture level, and had to rotate it through a degree or so. PSP is NOT good at such rotations. Straight lines get jaggy and fine details get jumbled. You did well to spot this at Useflim resolutions. I'm hoping my budget will run to PowerRetouche plugins, after which this will no be a problem. I guess you'd rather splurge on CS? You'll need a pretty powerful computer to make it work, though...

Oddly enough, Matej, your treatment is very like the original scan to CD-ROM that the Fuji DPE shop did. Fuji Superia is famous for its slight yellow cast (which gives brighter but to my mind rather unrealistic greens) and I automatically reset to a higher colour temperature without even thinking about it. This time it looks as if the original was better. Maybe the blue sky and white clouds combined to give an overall blue cast that Fuji's bias more-or-less compensated for. This film DOES look better in shots on bright, sunny days. I've noticed that. Thanks for the instructive input. I'll be on the watch for this in future.

On my monitor, the colours do indeed seem a bit off. The rocks and the wooden walkway appear sort of purple. I tried doing Variations in PS (don't know if there is an equivalent of this function in PSP), choosing 'more yellow' and 'darker'. The result as attached is obviously extreme in magnitude, but I think the 'direction' of the colour adjustments is more or less correct. What do you think?

I have th same problem with my tulip fields in most cases. Does contrast help and reducing brightness? To be honest to photograph flowerfields is more difficult than it looks at first glance. Regards, Rob.

I see what you mean about the colours, Roger. It's difficult to know why the flowers in the background are much less distinct and vibrant than the ones in the foreground, apart from the fact that they're smaller in the image. They also appear to be almost 'breaking up' a bit? Do they look that way on the original?
I'm hardly the best one to advise you!! Especially when it comes to film photography ~ you know a great deal more than I ever will!
Nice scene nonetheless. I especially like the elevated wooden path in the mid-distance.
Kind regards, Chris
